I was at Goodwill earlier today and found this for only $5. I just tested it and it’s fully functional. Sells on eBay for at least 100+

I got mine from Gamestapo years ago for $30.
Glad I did when I did, because of how insane they are now. Don't plan to part with it though.

Yeah it really stuck out at Goodwill. I can’t believe no one checked it out before me

I wonder if the “dated” box art made anyone unaware of what metroid is just think it was one of the millions of shitty dated tech items they had in the 2000s let alone have today. Cuz this is neat!
